Quick Jacob Update

Blood tests from today showed that his ANC was down to about 75. It looks like his cell counts and platelet levels were at a level where he will not need a transfusion prior to his surgery tomorrow morning. They will do one more blood draw in the morning just to make sure things will be fine.

We received a call from Dr Wagner again letting us know that he will be the anesthesiologist again for this surgery. He has been incredible at checking in on Jake throughout the last 2 weeks. He said he can give Jake the anesthesia via a mask with some watermelon scent added in. Jake really liked it last time and talked about it quite a bit.
